A preview of the rapture of the Church
Many Christians (including myself) believe that the rapture* of the Church will usher in a period of unprecedented lawlessness.
Recent murders in Baltimore give, perhaps, a hint of what that will be like. The Holy Spirit of God dwells in His people specifically and in world generally. In somewhat of a parallel, the police are among us, restraining, by their very presence, many evil actions.
In Baltimore, we hear the police have effectively withdrawn from the scene. Good citizens have been disarmed by decades of Democratic politicians. The result: a current state of general lawlessness.
When the Holy Spirit withdraws concurrent with the rapture of the Church, those left behind can expect to see Baltimore cubed.
Will you be among those that leave, or among those that live in that utter chaos?
*The sudden taking of all living Christians from earth.

Old Glory flies again in View Harbor Subdivision
Tomorrow, April 19, we celebrate Patriots' Day the beginning of the American Revolution. Redcoats marched on Lexington and Concord, Massachusettes, commencing hostilities that ended in the foundation of the United States. Project Appleseed has a tremendous combination of related history telling and markmanship training. Check it out.
It is fitting that today, April 18, on the eve of Patriots' day, Veteran Delia Foster raised the flag again in her front yard. I was there when she was taken down. I wish I had been there today.
Congratulations Delia!

Tennessee Parking lot law improved
WBIR reports that the Governor Haslam has signed the bill to improve the parking lot law, better stated as the
This law partially fixes the previous law, which (mostly) removed criminal liability for having a gun locked in a vehicle in an employer's parking lot. Now, the law provides some legal remedy for employees fired for this act.
Really, why would these bigwigs want their employees working second shift to be disarmed on that midnight commute home?
Now, hear this:
If an employer really wants to fire you, he can build a dossier of your mistakes (you're only human), and out you go.

Basic Christianity, For People Who Don’t Like Christians
From The Virtual Militia:
Good morning to people who do not like Christians:
Today is Easter Sunday. As Muslims conduct search-and-destroy operations against Christians, and as progressive Americans ramp up anti-Christian rage, I am going to do something different with this blog post. This post is written specifically to those who harbor either whether rabid hatred or smoldering dislike against people who call themselves Christians. This post is not written to convince anyone of anything. It is written to state exactly what the Christian faith is. So, if you think the notion of some sort of Christian God is ridiculous superstition, then this post is for you. You may read here and see exactly what it is you think is so absurd. Here is a concise, informational description of what Christians actually believe: CONTINUE TO READ @ VIRTUAL MILITIA HERE.

Heller Foundation raising funds for machine gun lawsuit
Why sue over machine guns? The founding fathers, despite what latter day statists will tell you, wanted citizens armed with the same basic infantry weapons as regular soldiers.

Former Maryland Trooper notes that he was wrong regarding handgun permits
I saw this first at Bearing Arms. The gentleman makes a Fonzie statement at 2:13 in, "I was wrong."
He was a Maryland State Trooper, in charge of their may-issue permitting system. Maryland has made life so difficult for gun owners that Beretta decided to leave the state.
The whole idea of having to prove your need to provide for your own defense is absurd. Self defense is a natural right, and politicians have long stepped over the bounds of human decency, removing, particularly from those who are not well-connected, the means of self defense.

The problem with Common Core
Dr. Mike Carlson takes a look at Common Core, and finds it lacking:
The problem with a helping of Federal funding is that it is always served with a side of Federal control.
Remember the double-nickel speed limit imposed by the states? The Feds did not have the power to "require" the states to impose the speed limit. But, they did use the coercive force of the purse strings to "gently persuade" the states to get in line.
I still recall vividly the tenth of June, 1976, while travelling the Pennsylvania Turnpike at the speed limit, being passed by a limo with government plates. I would guess that the limo was running at about 75 or 80.
I bet those behind imposing these CC standards almost exclusively send their children to private schools.
Rules for thee, but not for me. . .

Post 1986 machinegun ban illegal?
Long story short. In 1934, a $200 transfer tax was imposed on purchases of machineguns. Sales of newly manufactured machineguns were banned in 1986.
Can the government show that one can be denied the unalienable right to such a militia firearm?
Can the law pass the strict scrutiny test? I think not.
